WHAT IS VALUED IN A GYM SETTING IS CHANGINGIt‘s not access, it‘s experience.

Why experience-driven fitness and why now?

You need the ability to offer a variety of group training experiences to keep you competitive.

INDUSTRYTRENDS

Millennials and the younger members of Generation X are more likely to see the value in accessing more than one fitness facility to

address their fitness needs.

Not only do Millennials place high value on experiences, but they are spending

more time and money on them:from social events to athletic pursuits.

Millennials are driving technological advancements including online training, internet workouts,

multi-facility memberships and digitalisation of all facets of fitness.

Over the past five years, the number of consumers who reported being members of boutique studios grew by

121%, significantly more than the 18% growth experienced by commercial fitness facilities over the same period.

MULTIPLE MEMBERSHIPSIn many boutique studios, as many as 90% of members reported frequenting

an additional facility.

Class TrainingEach participant has a dedicated training station and equipment. Everyone performs the same exercise, but the trainer adapts the movement to each participant’s skill level.

Suspension Fitness TrainingA form of resistance training where exercisers create resistance by leveraging or offsetting their own bodyweight with straps, tubing, or ropes.

Circuit TrainingExercisers move through different stations with unique training tools. Everyone is performing a different activity.

BoxingCombat fitness training using heavy bags to improve coordination, core stability and aerobic fitness.

Team TrainingClass participants divide into teams of 2-10 across multiple training zones. Each team spends a fixed period of time in each zone before transitioning to the next.

Yoga, Spinning® and MoreThe flexibility of Queenax allows the floor space beneath the unit to be preserved for yoga, Spinning®, or other activities when the Queenax is not in-use.

HIIT TrainingSystematically alternating intense exercise bouts with periods of recovery.

Recovery TrainingRestorative techniques and exercises that repair and heal the body. Great for a variety of training populations, including active aging.
